Campus& Culture

Arts

The arts are essential to SUNY Ulster and our community, for whom we are a rich source
of programming. Home to the 500-seat Quimby Theater and Muroff-Kotler Visual Arts
Gallery, our College Lounge, campus grounds and hallways also become showcases for
artistic expression, exploration and innovation. Whether it's an outdoor sculpture
installation, a concert featuring world-class musicians, or a reading of new work
by a world-renowned author, the arts at SUNY Ulster engage our senses, stir our passions
and spark our intellect.

Facilities

Quimby TheaterThe 500 seat John Quimby Theater is the venue for student and professional theatrical
productions, concerts, dance presentations, poetry readings, guest lectures and other
featured events.

Dedicated in 1969 in memory of John C. Quimby, who was Chairman of the Board of Directors
of SUNY Ulster at the time of his death, the theater was renovated in 2006 with new
seats, lights, curtains and carpets.

Muroff-Kotler Visual Arts Gallery

The Muroff-Kotler Visual Arts Gallery serves as a center for creative artistic activity
at the College and for the outside community. It also functions as an environment
for teaching, performing, and exhibiting.

The College's permanent art collection enriches the cultural climate on campus by
making additional works of a high level of artistic achievement available to students
and the community. In this manner, the collection serves as a permanent visual reference
source.

The College believes that the acquisition of art works and the presentation of different
art exhibitions assist the College community in setting standards for judgment and
perception.
